Inlet Devices

Vane Inlet Devices

This device works by dividing smoothly the incoming flow in to
various segments using an array of curved vanes to suit the
overall geometry of the inlet nozzles & distribution length.

Key Characteristics:
ð Widely used standard device for an effective distribution and
momentum dissipation of incoming multi-phase feeds where
the momentum ranges from 3500 to 10000. Vane Inlet Device

Perforated Baffle Plate

Key Characteristics:
ð Applied in both horizontal & vertical vessels selection. Its
design is based on varying process applications
ð Commonly applied for calming the inlet zone in horizontal
vessel, liquid flow redistribution, Surge suppression in FPSO
applications & in some cases gas distribution.

Double Skin Perforated Baffle

Bifurcator Inlet Device

It’s a simple dual vane inlet device used in horizontal separators
where there is a requirement for reasonable flow distribution with
low shear & pressure drop.

Bifurcator Inlet Device

Cyclone Inlet Devices

It’s a cyclonic inlet device, wherever there is requirement for high
flow capacity, high momentum & very important is having
requirement of foam reduction, this device is applied. Used in
horizontal and some vertical separators.

Key Characteristics:
ð Main characteristic is their high flow capacity, meaning that
more throughput is possible through any given size separator. Multi Cyclone
ð Cyclones basically works on g-force, when the flow is feed to
cyclone it divide in to gas & liquid which causes in reduction in
foam formation.
ð Instead of the above types, Fenix also supply distributors such
as simple diverter/baffle plate, half pipe, dual vane type
distributor, slotted tee distributor, tangential inlet device.

Inlet Devices

Axial Cyclones
Fenix High-speed axial cyclones are specifically designed for
high gas-liquid capacities with higher gas velocities combined
with efficient droplet removal. Fenix axial cyclonic demisting
devices are more efficient than conventional demisters &
additionally less prone to plugging. This advantage makes it more
suitable for solid/dust containing applications.

Key Characteristics:
ð High degree of separation of fine droplets above 5-10 microns
& dust even at high operating pressure
ð Can be installed either horizontally or vertically
ð When the improved efficiencies are required in existing
systems with increased capacity, its best option to retrofit with
Fenix cyclonic demisting device
ð Considerable weight reduction and optimized design is
possible even at high pressure applications which results in to
cost reduction.
ð Low to medium pressure drop
ð With application of demister pad, higher turndown is possible.
ð Easy in operation & maintenance

Multi - Cyclones
Fenix Highspeed Multi cyclones are specifically designed for high
gas-liquid capacities with higher gas velocities combined with
efficient removal of solids & liquid above 8-10 microns. Whenever
the higher degree of separation is required it could be installed
with second stage of separation such as cartridge filters to
remove particles up to 3-5 microns.

Key Characteristics:
ð Its design features such as high gas velocities, high liquid &
solid capacities makes it much more beneficial & becomes cost
effective alternative to traditional separator.
ð Can be installed vertically
ð When the improved efficiencies are required in existing
systems with increased capacity, its best option to retrofit with
Fenix cyclonic demisting device.
ð High gas & liquid capacities at very high gas velocities.
ð Considerable weight reduction and optimized design is
possible even at high pressure applications which results in to
cost reduction.
ð Low to medium pressure drop
ð Upstream bulk separators prior to filter-separators
ð With application of secondary device, higher turndown is
possible.
ð Easy in operation & maintenance
ð Compact Gas/Oil separators

Defoaming Internals

Straightening Foam Breaker Vanes

Some crude oils, heavy residues, absorption and extraction
solvents are having foaming tendencies which may lead to carry-
under of gas or to carry-over of liquid which ultimately reduces
performance. Fenix offers a special de-foaming internals which
helps to improve the performance & also helps to reduce the
vessel diameter and even in many cases reduces the use of
chemicals for de-foaming. The same can be applied for many
cases as wave breakers. Defoaming Internals / Wave Breakers

Coalescing Internals

Flat Plate Pack

Plate packs consists of flat plates mounted parallel in the flow
direction. Widely applied where the separation need to be
improved from simple gravity method to get much better
separation. Inclined plates allow a liquid phase to disengage
diagonally towards the liquid interface. These coalescer packs
are specially designed to suit for severely fouling, dirty, heavy
solid conditions.
Plate Pack
Key Characteristics:
ð Fenix plate packs are provided with parallel angled plates;
generally the plate spacing varies from 15 - 25 mm and can be
up to 100 mm depending on process applications.
ð As per process suitability 45º to 60º slope is provided as per
fouling severity in services & also to ensure solid
separation to avoid plugging.

Coalescing Internals

Matrix Pack
Matrix packs consist of corrugated sheet metal structured
packing. Matrix packs are generally mounted on vertical direction
to the flow. Matrix coalescers are very effective in coalescing all
droplets as small as 50 microns into droplets greater than 1000
microns to separate rapidly under gravity. In liquid-liquid services
applied to improve separation which is not possible in an empty
gravity separator. Matrix pack is used effectively in clean liquid
services to light fouling services or to polish the fluids. Matrix Pack

Key Characteristics:
ð Depending on the suitability of process conditions, matrix pack
selection is carried out with variety of surface areas generally
ranges from 125 m2/m3 to 250 m2/m3 & 600 -1000 mm
standard packed length.

Dual Media Coalescer

Fenix high performance dual media coalescers are highly
efficient & widely used for clean/non fouling liquid services.

Key Characteristics:
ð These Matrix coalescers are very effective in coalescing all
droplets as small as 30-40 microns into droplets greater than
1000 microns, so that the heavy density particle can be easily
separated by gravity. Dual Media Coalescer
ð For corrosive applications, Fenix can supply coalescers in
Alloys & even in polypropylene.
